This book was surprisingly good. My jaw even dropped during a major plot twist. Once you understand the characters’ dynamics, you can’t put the book down! Switching narratives helps keep the plot moving in a way that’s fun and not mentally draining.

Decent twists, but still mostly predictable. The first half is incredibly slow. Very little to do with Paris. I liked the protagonist, Jess, somewhat, but the

fact that every single person seemed to be in love with the victim was both over-done and also annoying. Also, I hate that they never go back for the cat?!

Very solid read — a lot of maybe predictable twists and plot points that still felt solid and satisfying despite seeing them coming . Unlike a lot of mystery books , this one didn’t have a huge chunk of exposition from 40 to 100 pages into the book. You’re thrown into it and given little tidbits of context along the way which is more how the newcomer experiences the mystery - and it’s a hell of a lot more entertaining than just having each character give you their side of the story flat out. 

You’re neutral then you like then you hate then you understand then you like a lot of these characters which is a very fun way to experience them.

although i understand why, I do wish

Nick and Ben had made amends, Nicks realisation and acceptance of his own feelings was such a sincere moment
